What is apple butter

You may be wondering what the difference is between apple butter and apple sauce. Both require slow cooking apples and spices, however apple butter cooks for longer – which makes a more thick and caramelized dark brown spread that’s packed with a ton of apple flavor. Apple butter is basically just applesauce that’s been concentrated.

Just made this. Have been looking for a recipe with little or no sugar. My new favorite! Instead of putting in blender, I used an immersion blender. A little less work and clean up. Will definitely make this again!
